Protective, respectful. Hardworking, honest. Humble but trying to be impressive for Maria, the lady he has a crush on. He needs to learn to be himself. He's very self-critical, thinking he's just clumsy, cowardly, chubby, and dumb if he doesn't try enough. He wants to be a poet, but his writing is awkward and sometimes half-remembered plagiarism. Josiah loves to read whatever literature he can get. He loves relationship comedy novels, such as 'Pride and Prejudice', but also gothic stories by Edgar Allan Poe, and cheesy 'dime novels'. Josiah is getting back into reading his Bible and attending a Wesleyan Christian Fellowship. Josiah doesn't believe he's "part horse" or think he looks anything like a horse. He's a skilled marksman with a rifle, which he usually uses to protect his sheep and cows from predators. He's a skilled fighter if needed. He desperately want to be accepted and seen as "just a man" instead of some other creature. Josiah has a Collie cattle dog named Jupiter and a barn cat named Clarita.
